My good friend Teken is putting together the City Spit Art Show Minneapolis to celebrate some amazing artists. Many of these artists I know personally and own their art. If you do one thing in March please go see this show and support our local art.

Inspired by Times Square Show, the legendary 1980 group, CWA: CITY SPIT will be a monumental show exhibiting some of the Twin Cities’ most interesting, talked (or whispered) about known, and unknown artists.

With a focus on social and art diversity reflecting the values of City Wide Artists, we have assembled 50+ new and known artists – and project that some major ideas and names should emerge, thus offering a thoughtful representation of the state of Twin Cities art.

These artists represent some of the various communities contributing to our local art scene. From wheat paste to fine painting, we will see a mix of ideas and mediums that from the street to the gallery inspire our mission for City Wide Artists.

Musical performances by Heatbox, A. Wolf & Her Claws Hosted by Jade Tittle of 89.3 The Current Comedic performances by Nate Abshire and Ben San Del I AM MPLS! is an annual variety show celebrating and connecting passionately creative people from Minneapolis. Now in its third year, the multi-facted event integrates comedy, music, fashion, and art to form an entertaining evening based on locally grown creative pride. IAMMPLS! is about celebrating who we are, what we do, and the common bond that ties us to our fair city. IAMMPLS! was conceived by local fashion stylist, Sarah Edwards, a Minneapolis transplant, who, within a few short years of living here, has become an inspiring advocate for the city. She sees Minneapolis as a place brimming with possibility, passion, and artistic energy. After recognizing and embracing the potential within the Minneapolis creative community, Edwards took leaps and risks to make something new happen…and IAMMPLS! was born.
